The operation of preferred embodiment is now described.
The term index:
Reader 12: the hand wash events that the electronics CPU34 in the system 10, its record enter the room and be associated.Also have electronic lock A (described below) in the reader 12, it has with signalisation lock B and C makes these other locks enter the ability of enabling the position.
Lock A: be present in and be in closure state or opening in the reader 12.Opening can enable (enable-α), the operation of activation, end position.
Enable: from the state of lock after the initialize signal of electronic key.
Enable-α: the state of lock, it represents the possibility of enabling fully but indication is washed one's hands behavior not by the order under the basic model of becoming.
Activate: the state of lock after electronic key receives secondary signal.
Finish: the 3rd signal has been received by electronic key and the state of the lock that works by shut-off circuit.
Lock B and C: be embedded in the virtual or electronic lock system in soap dispensing device and the alcohol gel washing lotion dispensing device, it can operate under closure state or opening.Opening is by enabling position, active position by being in by the electronic key mechanism of the action triggers that hereinafter describes in detail, and then advances to " closing down " position and form.
Spontaneous loop: by the electronic loop that individual person's reader 12 is followed the tracks of, its utilization has unique set of cipher key at a user's reservation function (code that produces in the electronics mode).This loop allows a people before entering ward 18 and the process of washing one's hands independently afterwards, but follows the tracks of its personal behavior especially and have nothing to do in entering other people of room simultaneously.
Key: the room enters in the loop signal that produces, and it can work so that lock and advance to diverse location (engagement).Execute that to join soap or alcohol gel washing lotion and enter ward 18 by threshold crossing are the methods that produce unlike signal or key.When producing key, it serves as the signal that works between the lock in system 10.Provide unique but interim key to everyone, it follows the tracks of his/her specific activity, and no matter and be independent of the behavior of other healthcare provider that enters the room.
Radio communication: transmit the mode of his/her hand hygiene behavior to the reader 12 that is suitable for wearing by the individual.This realizes by virtual electronic lock and the cipher key system described by using REID, magnetic coupler, Bluetooth technology or other technology.Described system designs in a certain mode and plans and makes and to begin to be considered loop unlatching when being used to open the action that may select that beginning hand hygiene/room enters the loop as a people.
System 10 is the devices (utilizing REID, Bluetooth technology or other system) that will be designed to have two parts.At first, data reader (about ideally 3cm is wide/1cm height, degree of depth 5mm) is worn carefully or is attached on the employee's of hospital the pager or identification label, it is communicated by letter with second assembly (data trigger).Trigger will be installed in the room and be attached to soap or alcohol gel washing lotion dispensing device.These " triggers " will be placed on a porch (activating by the health threshold crossing) and (activate by pushing dispensing device) in the leverage of soap/alcohol gel washing lotion dispensing device.Complete loop will be referred to and enters twice hand wash events that the room once is associated with patient's meet.This ratio will reflect the best behavior in this environment, promptly meet with before the patient at every turn and respectively wash one's hands once afterwards.Described ratio can be through revising to be used for varying environment.For instance, in food service industry, complete loop will be equivalent to wash one's hands once after entering the lavatory at every turn.
Reader device will comprise little LCD display (or other display), and it will have three hurdles to indicate: the number of times of 1) always washing one's hands; 2) always enter the room number of times; 3) ratio (2: 1 or other ratio).The user can check that visually described device is to check his/her process in any time in one day.(for example, midnight) aut.eq. is reseted and will be given the chance that healthcare provider changes his/her behavior at the fixed time.The target of this device will be to permit the user with the very similar excitation of passometer being used this device as the mode of tracker and serving as enhancement/change behavior.Use the personnel of described device can select to inquire described device in the electronics mode at interval with official hour.But the data that access is stored are also in confidence to user report.The user can disclose its reader 12 of one's own accord to be used for external assessment.Can carry out the incentive award to best behavior.General purpose will be to improve to wash one's hands in accordance with property, real-time feedback is provided, authorizes to the office worker to the wearer, and finally protect from infection and save life.This will carry out under the situation that does not need the programming of extensive computations machine, thereby eliminating soft project and eliminating need be implemented electric hard wire in the ward.Described device serves as simple counter, for the user shows raw data.In addition, this system is not the external control pattern that formation is regarded as coercive usually, but will avoid setting up between the personnel that collect data and employee/office worker the antagonism relation.In some sense, the personnel of using system 10 have data and the behavior of himself.
This technology can be mainly used in the operating discipline of implementing the very important place of hand hygiene qualification.This will contain for example place of hospital, clinic or medical institutions, but also be used for restaurant and food processing industry, and may be applied to aseptic condition in the most important usually manufacturing industry of for example computer processor of production run.
System 10 is unique, because it provides real-time feedback about their hand hygiene practices to the employee.Can visually check raw data in any time in one day, and the ratio that calculates shows to their performance or grades.Show that this feedback is impelled operation correctly effectively, the promotion behavior is corrected.Described device does not need electronic component and routing network widely, does not need complicated software to analyze, and does not provide unnecessary information to the user, and the user is responsible for its behavior more.Can be very similar to and check pacemaker and in the electronics mode described device is inquired in the mode of understanding the abnormal movement/alarm between the tools for doctor home visit.Can collect and advertisement information to reflect one group of staff's aggregate performance characteristic.Can show or the transmission data to the staff, as extra anonymous feedback mechanism.For instance, can provide all doctors of hospital or all paramedives' hand hygiene characteristics to everyone video data.The individual can select to disclose its personal data to its employer of one's own accord, as with for example promote, the part of job performance assessment that bonus, discount equal excitation combine.
Example:
Andrew doctor moves towards ward 18.He pushes the lever 28 on the alcohol gel hand hygiene dispensing device near the wall that is positioned at the ward 18.This move makes lock A enter " unlatching " position from " closure " position.Specifically, it makes lock A enter " enabling " position.Lock A is an electronic lock, and it is the part of the reader 12 worn of Andrew doctor.Lock A has that three open sites " are enabled ", " activation " and " end ".Enable the initial actuating that needs first electronic key, and activate the action that needs second electronic key.Therefore, recall, the action of executing tennis partner's sanitizer by presses lever 28 is in order to " rotating first key ", and this sends it back signal the reader 12 that Andrew doctor wears again, and makes lock A be in and enable the position.Reader 12 then remains in scheduled time slot by timer 32 mechanism and enables the position.If Andrew doctor does not enter ward 18, the lock A on the reader 12 cancels " make-position " automatically so, and does not write down the loop.The loop by initial hand wash events, follow-uply enter ward 18 (initially washing one's hands five minutes in), finally wash one's hands, with leave ward 18 and form (or the acceptable versions of this theme, promptly at first enter ward 18, in the room, wash one's hands, patient is checked and uses when withdrawing from a room the alcohol gel washing lotion dispensing device on the wall to wash one's hands).Incomplete loop is meant and enters before the room and all do not wash one's hands afterwards, only washes one's hands before entering the room, or enters the room and just wash one's hands after patient is checked.
Continue above the description ... when Andrew doctor comes into room (threshold crossing), this action allows second key to activate lock A on his reader 12.Striding across threshold (this is identical with second key that activates lock A) can realize by passive RFID coupling or other method.In case activate the lock A on the reader 12 that is suitable for being worn by Andrew doctor, reader 12 just produces and lock B and the electronic coupled signal of C (key 3).Lock B is placed on the alcohol gel washing lotion dispensing device that just is positioned at outside the room or is positioned at the room, and lock C is placed in the soap dispensing device that usually is placed in the ward.In fact the signal that sends from the reader 12 that is suitable for being worn by Andrew doctor rotates key 3, and enables lock B and C by this.
At this moment, the lock A of the reader 12 that Andrew doctor wears is in active position, and lock B and C (in the room environment) are in and enable the position.Lock B and C keep enabling up to overtime or move to active position till.
Next, Andrew doctor checks patient.In case finish this action, he just a) washes one's hands with soap and water (place, pond in the room), b) joins near the alcohol gel washing lotion device that just is in outside the ward or the import and washes one's hands by executing, or c) do not wash one's hands and withdraw from a room.
If Andrew doctor washes one's hands at pond place, he is liquid taking soap by pushing lever 28 on the dispensing device.This move signals and gets back to his reader 12 and cause the signal that finishes lock A.This signal constitutes key 4.In case key 4 makes the lock A on the reader 12 enter end position, the loop is just closed and complete.The system 10 (and embedded reader 12) that is suitable for being worn by Andrew doctor will show " enter 1 time, wash one's hands ratio 2: 12 times ".If Andrew doctor finishes patient is checked that avoid pond and soap dispensing device in the room, and move towards the doorway, he can execute in this position and join the alcohol gel washing lotion so in above-mentioned plot.This action will be served as and be impelled key 4 to signal to get back to the alternative method that is suitable for the reader 12 worn by Andrew doctor, and also be used for finishing lock A.As mentioned above, if this alternative route takes place, will lock A so and be considered as closed and complete loop.System 10 will show " enter 1 time, wash one's hands ratio 2: 12 times " once more.The action that liquid soap dispensing device or alcohol gel washing lotion dispensing device place the carry out loop of closing down independently, thus reader 12 record twice wash one's hands misregistration or exaggerative value when meeting with patient and finish prevented.
Not washing one's hands if Andrew doctor withdraws from a room after meeting with patient, (wash one's hands with liquid soap in the place, pond in the room, or just be in ward 18 alcohol gel washing lotion dispensing devices outer or inflow point and wash one's hands by using), the lock A when he leaves so on his reader 12 is in active position.In addition, lock B and C (respectively in soap and gel washing lotion dispensing device) remain secured to and enable the position.When Andrew doctor withdrew from a room and stride across threshold, lock A, B and C closed down after the timer 32 machine-processed timing end separately at it.His system 10 will write down " enter 1 time, wash one's hands ratio 1: 11 time ".
If Andrew doctor does not wash one's hands with gel washing lotion dispensing device and enters the room, key 2 works and has entered the room with signaling reader 12 so.Lock A enters the open site, and its name is called enables-alpha position.Enable-alpha position indication doctor goes through the behavior of permission with different order loop.So, when Andrew doctor enters the room and executes dispense liquid soap when wash one's hands in pond place, his lock A will detect the room that is write down simultaneously and enter, and it also makes key 2 enter and enables-alpha position and be coupled and will impel his lock A to enter state of activation immediately from initiate mode with hand wash events.In other words, in case Andrew doctor's reader 12 is confirmed to enter the room and execute and join soap, his lock A just will automatically switch to the active position through recognizing that illustrates in the above-mentioned example that carries out with regular turn.In case his lock A is activated, this just is used to enable lock B and C.Lock B and C (describing as mentioned) are in soap dispensing device and the alcohol gel washing lotion dispensing device.These locks maintain to be enabled the position and finishes up to Andrew doctor patient is checked and till arbitrary dispensing device is washed one's hands.In these two kinds of actions any one will make circuit closed.
If some doctors enter the room in succession, will follow the tracks of their entering and hand wash events independently of one another with the form in the independent spontaneous loop that forms by above-mentioned same action so.When opening the beginning during each loop, the dispensing device of washing one's hands will be recycled to next electronic key (or digital code), open the unique of another series of beginning and electronic lock and key that the user is specific by this.Follow-up lock and cipher key path will allow many care-givers to enter the room and to each care-giver's self behavior and action keep the score (and not considering and do not disturb other people action).
For instance, if Andrew doctor moves towards 18 outsides, ward and pushes the alcohol gel washing lotion, the lock A on his health is enabled by key 001-1 so.Hannah doctor walks after Andrew doctor.She executes after him and joins the alcohol gel washing lotion.When she did like this, dispensing device was recycled to another key.Be alternative in the key 001-1 (enter/wash one's hands in the loop in this room) that becomes the temporary key that is used by Andrew doctor, she is given key 002-1.Another people who enters the room can receive (for example) key 003-1.Enter other doctor in room or personnel and will execute and join described device and be given other key, independently activated and their loop of self is set in the sequence.For generation like this, the digital code that key can reflect in principle in regular turn or produce at random.
Can how to have coincidence circuit in order to understand, we can continue Andrew doctor and execute the example that enters the lock A on ward 18 is enabled him by this with key 001 the reader 12 after joining the alcohol gel washing lotion.Hannah doctor and then does like this, executes and joins the gel washing lotion, and this impels alcohol gel washing lotion dispensing device to enable her lock A with the different keys that produce by presses lever 28.We will listedly as mentioned call 002 to this key.Notice that when presses lever 28, the key of Qi Shixin locked 3-5 second simultaneously before next user's press device.In this way, two suctions will can not produce extra key " signal " to obtain extra detergent gel/soap.When entering the room patient is checked, Andrew doctor's reader 12 (by triggering key 001-2) when he strides across threshold becomes activation from enabling.Hannah doctor then strides across threshold.When she did like this, her reader 12 and lock A thereof (by triggering second key, this takes place when striding across threshold) also in the same manner became active position from enabling the position.When Andrew doctor continues patient checked with Hannah doctor, they separately their the lock A on the reader all remain on active position, be in the lock B of (describing as mentioned) in soap dispensing device and the alcohol gel washing lotion dispensing device and C respectively and remain on and enable the position.More particularly, lock B and C can list sub-lock state simultaneously.Son lock is activated by everyone behavior that enters the room.In this example, Andrew doctor's action is independent of Hannah doctor and forms spontaneous loop.If check, lock B and C so and will represent two son locks of enabling that are used to follow the tracks of two doctors.If another person enters the room after washing one's hands with the alcohol gel dispensing device, lock B and C so and will register the 3rd son of enabling lock.Get back to Andrew doctor and Hannah doctor's case, when finishing when patient checked, Andrew doctor is chosen in the place, pond and washes one's hands.This action is used to finish lock A and closed his loop on his the individual reader 12.Hannah doctor selects to use the alcohol gel washing lotion dispensing device that just is in the porch, room to wash one's hands.Her lock A of this action triggers enters end position, finishes her loop by this.
System 10 is of portable form.It allows user's carried device and it is checked that action line for a change by this to obtain feedback.Described device is zero once a day its value is reset to through design.To begin every day with the new target of improving the hand hygiene qualification.System 10 can stand the electronics inquiry.Can via electromagnetic component or directly port (for example, USB) for the user's download data to understand and to check his behavior trend.Wish system 10 for portable, though make that all healthcare provider are all worn described device ideally, if only limited number can be used, they can be worn at different time by on the same group care-giver not so.For instance, can provide system 10, or can provide system 10 to all nurses in special ward to all nurses.This can carry out in the period of appointment.When wearing and use described device, the user can check their device on one day discontinuous ground.By inquiry unit, can provide summary data to the individual user.Can collect all devices, and can download cumulative data and by representing anonymous accumulation group's value used as the instrument that the personnel in the group are educated.System 10 will allow the individual to disclose its identity of one's own accord with the means as the best behavior of award.

Dispensing device will determine in the following manner which care-giver is just using dispensing device.In a single day dispensing device just is used will send quick scouting signal to the care-giver who stands in apart from the nearest place of device (that is, about 2 feet).This is used to confirm identity/electronic key of being associated with the user.Dispensing device then will receive the particular electrical sub-key of these data and issue coupling immediately.Recall, any key that maintains in " enabling " dispensing device all is by producing when the cascade of transmitting in the electronics mode that begins when the care-giver issues key first.
(each key to care-giver's issue when beginning in the loop causes transmitting unique signal of enabling dispensing device.Therefore, each dispensing device place existence is at special the enabling " sub-state " that enters the room and be published each care-giver of electronic key.Therefore, dispensing device may have many enabling " sub-state " that is associated with each care-giver's particular electrical sub-key.)
Since care-giver's reader 12 has received the key of this coupling, dispensing device will keep closing down at this special care person.Yet if other care-givers are arranged in the room, dispensing device will carry other and enable sub-state (with the as many sub-state of the number in the room) so.
